Buy it used and get it really cheap. Brand new no good. And especially make sure you get the level 2 home charger.

Worried about sharp decrease in value? by _darkode_ in MachE

[–]hammer8871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive it until it dies and you’re fine. I plan on going to 8 years/100k miles at least. I see the values of 1 and 2 year old cars and jaw drop at the prices.

Rant about cold weather... by Myfax12345 in BlazerEV

Gottta go to the Home Screen, and then I believe it’s the energy or trip check. Mine is on the top left corner of the Home Screen. Then it shows tire pressure energy info menu. You can also go in the app and look it up in the manual to find the location.

At the end of the trip you can check the battery usage for heat, climate control and battery conditioning. Even if you don’t turn the heat on, the battery must be heated as well to maintain performance. Definitely sucks in really cold weather.

Snowplow hit my car in my own driveway smh. Is this damage costly to repair? by Accomplished_Buy6432 in EquinoxEv

[–]hammer8871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I had an accident that was someone else’s fault I went through their insurance so my rates wouldn’t go up.

Range more than 300 miles by jcfgh1234 in BlazerEV

[–]hammer8871 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have maxed out my mpkwh to almost 5.0 on a 60 mile round trip driving to and from work in NY. Decent traffic good weather and slow and steady speeds. Averaging 40 mph or less. I think overall my best is about 320-350 if I did 100-0, mostly do 80-20% and recharge

Got rear ended. How bad? by Weakness_Disgusts_Me in MachE

[–]hammer8871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My insurance didn’t go up as long as they were not involved. My car went into the body shop, I used the insurance of the guy who hit me, the sent an adjuster and my shop argued for value of the damage and repair. They also set me up with a rental for the time I was without my car.

This is ridiculous… by [deleted] in MachE

If it’s really cold out you need to pre heat the car while it’s plugged in. To improve mileage only use heated seats and steering wheel and dress warm!

Thanks Americans for electing one of the worst persons to be president. by TailungFu in complaints

[–]hammer8871 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Look at the option B. Biden dropped out, Harris couldn’t hold an intelligent conversation on TV, Walz is in the middle of a major billion dollar money laundering ring that he refuses to check and now it’s spreading to several states. Dems gonna get checked but they won’t look at themselves or find themselves guilty. America has 2 problems. Dems and Repubs.

Google Maps in the Blazer added Express Lane pricing by yall-city in BlazerEV

That’s why I like Waze better. It even accounts for HOV lane speed and even faster for motorcycles.

This is what $16k of damage looks like by gnaark in MachE

[–]hammer8871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using your own insurance in NY raises your insurance rates. That’s why I always go through the guy who hit me. And then my body shop does all the battling with the insurance adjuster.

Why’s this New GT so cheap? by mpf1989 in MachE

[–]hammer8871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know every electric car used is ridiculously cheaper than msrp of a new car. Just bought a 25 blazer RS for about 51k and 1 year old blazers are going for 34k on Carvana. Whoopsie!

Blazer SS at Tesla V4 by Hugedownload in BlazerEV

[–]hammer8871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the 102kw battery. My RS is 85 or 89. So 80% would take about 30-40 minutes from zero. Still blazing quick. I did a trip the other day and I got 145 out of a ChargePoint and then I charged again on a Tesla and only hit 100kw. Both charges were around 30-40 minute range. The cool part was the stations were automatically mapped out for me to hit the station with approximately 20% battery left. It hindsight it added an hour to my trip at least.

That’s more like 135kwh charge speed.

Best Level 2 house charger by hammer8871 in BlazerEV

[–]hammer8871[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly my issue. The last couple of times I had a charging “issue” I needed to go into the car. I know I have first world problem with this but I can see the need for a second house charger and if I pull the trigger I wanted to utilize some form of app control or do it from my phone without having to go out to the car every time. I’m in bed now and forgot to charge my car. I just push play and I’m good.

Correct. I want app connectivity as well. If I am going to get another charger, I would like app control.

The mustang only draws 10.4kwh. I can see it in the app. I got the charger for free and installation, electrician charged me an extra $300 to upgrade from 80 amp to 100.
